Validation-ready dilution study

Run a controlled dilution ladder to compare release, soldering, smoke, and die cleaning intervals.

System Capabilities

Outcomes with KelviRelease UltraCast

Performance gains you can measure

Hot-Die Wetting Evaluation

Designed for documented spray validation on hot aluminum HPDC dies where teams compare wetting pattern, film coverage, spray bounce, and release behavior against the current die lubricant baseline.

Anti-Soldering Validation Support

The release film is intended to help teams evaluate aluminum pickup, soldering tendency, drag marks, and ejection behavior under their actual alloy, die temperature, spray program, and cycle-time conditions.

200-300 Shot Release Benchmark

Controlled die-spray validation can test 200-300 shot release windows where die geometry, alloy, temperature, water quality, dilution, spray equipment, and part complexity allow. Validate release quality, pickup, residue, drag marks, and cleaning interval against the current agent.

Dilution and Cost-Per-Shot Study

Controlled line validation can evaluate high-dilution windows, including 1:100 to 1:150 where suitable. If cost is judged only by drum price, hidden loss stays in spray time, die cleaning, pickup, polishing, rejected castings, and working-fluid cost per shot.

Water-Quality Compatibility Check

Evaluate emulsion stability, nozzle deposits, spray consistency, and water hardness tolerance with your plant water before changing the production dilution standard.

Spray-System Compatibility Review

Assess filterability, tank stability, dosing behavior, nozzle performance, redispersion, and manual or automatic spray-system compatibility during the controlled plant test.

Process

How KelviRelease UltraCast works for this use case

Document baseline, spray settings, release behavior, residue, and cost-per-shot before scaling

1

Record Baseline and Spray Setup

Document die temperature, alloy, part geometry, current release agent, dilution, spray time, water quality, nozzle condition, release behavior, residue, aluminum pickup, cleaning interval, and cost-per-shot before introducing KelviRelease.

Technical Note:Use the same inspection points before and after the test so release, residue, and consumption data remain comparable.

2

Run Documented Spray Validation

Introduce KelviRelease with defined dilution and spray parameters. Keep die temperature, spray program, cycle time, and water source stable while operators document wetting pattern, release behavior, and surface condition.

Technical Note:Change one process variable at a time, especially dilution, spray duration, nozzle pattern, and air pressure.

3

Inspect Release, Residue, and Die Cleanliness

Review part release, soldering or pickup tendency, drag marks, surface finish, residue, vent cleanliness, die buildup, smoke, and cleaning effort over multiple shifts.

Technical Note:Photograph die surfaces and casting condition at consistent intervals to avoid relying only on operator memory.

4

Compare Results and Set the Production Window

Compare release quality, die cleaning interval, concentrate consumption, water-quality behavior, downtime, and cost-per-shot against the baseline. Scale only after the first stable comparison period.

Technical Note:Kelvin technical support can help define the next dilution window, water-quality checks, and inspection schedule.

Hot-Die Wetting and Release Control

KelviRelease is designed for controlled evaluation of water-based die release behavior on hot aluminum HPDC tooling. The practical goal is to build a repeatable spray process that can be compared against the current release-agent baseline. Measure wetting, pickup, residue, cleaning effort, dilution, water quality, and cost-per-shot before making permanent process changes.

Best Practices

  • Follow recommended application rates strictly
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight
  • Consult technical team for customized guidance
  • Monitor results and adjust as needed
